The Hammer Editor, the engine's official level editor, uses rendering and compiling tools included in the SDK to create maps using the binary space partitioning (BSP) method. Level geometry is created with 3D polygons called brushes ; each face can be assigned a texture which also defines the properties of the surface such as the sounds used ...

Since color texture maps can be reused freely, and normal maps tend to correspond with a particular texture map, it is desirable for artists that normal maps have the same property. A texture map (left). The corresponding normal map in tangent space (center). The normal map applied to a sphere in object space (right).
The application of a texture in the UV space related to the effect in 3D. A representation of the UV mapping of a cube. The flattened cube net may then be textured to texture the cube. UV mapping is the 3D modeling process of projecting a 3D model's surface to a 2D image for texture mapping.
